About Leanne

Leanne Kemp is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and life changes, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Her approach centres on the client's concerns and on helping them find practical ways forward.

Leanne uses client-centred methods to listen without judgement and to prioritise what matters to the individual. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help set clear, achievable goals and small steps that can be tried between sessions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and pragmatic, with attention to immediate problems as well as longer standing issues.

Her background includes working as a counsellor and mental health mentor across a range of settings. That experience has involved supporting people with trauma, abuse, bereavement, relationship strain, workplace stress and issues linked to neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD. She also lists longer term concerns like bipolar and chronic health-related stresses among her areas of work.

Leanne is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP. She offers therapeutic support in English and works with adults across many life circumstances. Practical matters such as cost and how sessions are arranged use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Leanne uses client-centred therapy to focus on the person's immediate concerns, listening and responding to what the client brings. This approach helps when someone wants time to talk through how social situations and anxiety affect daily life. Solution-focused therapy is used to set clear, practical goals and to identify small steps that can be tried between sessions, which can suit people who prefer working toward specific changes.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist discusses a person's needs, goals and preferences and then suggests ways of working that fit. Clients and therapist review how the approach is working and adjust it as needed, keeping the collaboration practical and goal-oriented.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to choose a quieter time of day for talking. Session options are not listed in the original biography, so clients should confirm current session formats before booking to ensure they meet individual needs. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments that aim to fit into everyday life and commitments.
